j. Thisinvention'relates to the art of'wing-A dows and particularly to a two piece windowy adaptedfor use in automobile doors. l

f 4la provide a window thatmay be readily opened by pressure thereon top'ermitthe driver ofk an automobile to extend 'his arm through the windowY to give siggnals.`` l Other important Objects reside in theparticular means for rey 10 turningthe movable section of the window toV its normal closed position; .in providing ,a

' uniti that Inayreplace f the 'usual-one'piece v glassg'inpro'vidingfmeans for preventingthe'i opening iof the movable v section "whenf the A '15 car is to be looked upglandin the new asso'- ciat'ion-'of the ivariousi'elements comprising the structureiemployedto achieve the-above indicated objects.

- These and other objects will'beoome ap'- 20 parentfin' the followingl description of'the invention,with reference'being made tojth j accompanying drawings, 1n'l which s Fig. flis a fragmentary side elevation of the-upper portion of an Vautomobile doorfemy 25 ployed in my invention;

AFig. 5,a detail in'end elevation' ofthe lower n y Y n tles 25 are rockably carried in holes provided in the rails wand-,11 and the otherends of i f the spring 27 are provided withveyes through 854A glass section ;v and l l characters e of reference indicateV like parts' throughout the several views, Iy provide theA two: vertical sidev rails 10 andll between the upperends of which is secured the glass 12; Thelower endsofthe rails are tiedftogether rigidly l'by the horizontall bar .13 whichfis engagedy by the usual windowiraising and low# v ering' mechanism as indicated in Fig,` 2, the "i detailsy .ofy such lmechanism part of my invention.` f s v g [The rails10 and 11 areformedftotenter by their outer edges into the vertical grooves 1n the-doo1",1originally receiving the customary 50 fxFi'g. `6vis a side elevationiof the pintle 'e not orming'av Vone-piece glass." The -upper ends'of the rails;

are pfovidea Wahn-channels' into which the endsy of the. glass 12y project. The channels l 1 terminate `to provide shoulders 14 on whichv Y important v,obj ect of the invention- 1s to bracket being frictionally engaged thereoverf e without pins or other securing means.' LipsVr -21l4and l 22'respectively arey turned outwardly fromthe tshield 17 on'ea'ch side of the glass llover'the legs 18 yar1d19 and tongues 23 and' ,y s 24;v are turnedout from the shield 17 andk up' 'io wardly against theunder side of the legs of the bracket 20, vwhereby the bracket' 20'is heldfagainst vertical displacement along the shield 17; y f n I Each bracket 20 has a pintle 25 extending 75' laterally therefrom rand separated' from the bracket proper by a cylindrical surface 26 of greater diameter "than that ofthe pin 25. boutthe surfacef26 iswrapped a torsional spring' 27 one end 'of which is carried down 80 f along the shield 17 and inserted under a loop 28 spaced outwardly therefrom. 'Thepinvglass 12 whenthe glass 15 isfi'nthe closed position. `In thesam'e manner a rubber 33`is` carriedonthebar to close the gap between 100 ably `carried, in said'rails, and springs nor- .lIlally'returning the lower'glas-s to vertical, y Vdepending position. n

'7.y For an automobile 'door window openogin'g having vertically disposed guide chanf nels, a replacingunit comprising a pair of 'side rails adaptedV to enter said channels, a Vbar joining the lower ends of the rails, an upper glass held'be'tween said rails, shoul- 10 ders on the rails on which said glass rests, A a lower glass, shields engaging about the vertical edges of the lower glass, pintle brack- "ets having legs compressively engaging over f the shields near the upper edge of the glass,r 15 and pintles extending from the brackets rol tatably`carried in said rails, and springs normally returning the lower glass to a vertical depending position,fthe combined height of the said twoglasses beingl slightly greater 20 than the height of the window opening.

In testimony whereof I ax my signature.
